A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 7 7. Fighting the war first

First of all, when the war has progressed to this point, Baichuan has completely become a fish. Although the food and water sources in the city can still be maintained, people's hearts have become unstable.

Moreover, in a flat area downstream of the Lianchuan River, Kitahata University, a famous water control expert in Yamauchi, is already building a wild goose embankment. Soon the water flow in the Lianchuan River will be greatly reduced, and there will inevitably be a water shortage in the city. The moat will also become an empty moat, and the city defense system will be further damaged.

Turning to the siege, first of all, we don’t need to deny that there were trebuchets, siege scale trucks, flying city ladder trucks, Lu Gong cars, goose towers, etc. during the Warring States Period in Japan. But in addition to the cost of this thing, there is also a bigger problem, that is, a certain public minister who can make these things may be so hungry that he sells his son to be a male publicist. His family has books recording siege weapons. Maybe the dust is three inches thick.

In the entire Warring States Period, except for Hosokawa Fujitaka, there was no record of using large-scale siege weapons. So what Xiaopingtai is facing now is the most violent way to attack the city - ant attack.

The only good thing is that those who died in the first round were the more than 600 members of the leading party Ejiri Xianfangzhong. This time was the time to hand over the certificates.

So for three days in a row, this group of leading parties worked very hard. Under the firepower of the iron artillery ashigaru and bow ashigaru supported by the main formation, they advanced layer by layer holding wooden trusses and bamboo bundles to fill up a section of the trench. The thorns and fences outside the gate were also removed. At the same time, the deployment of Ichinomaru's troops in the city was basically ascertained.

After nearly 200 casualties, their mission was accomplished. After all, there is a certain level of hard work, and they cannot be exploited endlessly. After the city is broken, Ejiri will become his own leader, and these leading parties will become the backbone of local governance.

So the foreigners who killed the second echelon, that is, the Renchuan Sixteenth Group where Xiaoheita was located, and the other group of Hachiman Shrine people who needed to be suppressed began to move in.

The two sides exchanged blows, and soon the so-called divine army of the shrines sacrificed their lives to break through the already dilapidated outer city. Before the two troops suffered heavy casualties, the order to continue the siege was issued.

As a small flag bearer, Koheita finally realized the cruelty of war. Although he does not need to be the first to attack as a sharp knife, he must be coerced into the battle group and work hard to plant his flag on the enemy's city. The lead bullets and arrows whizzing through the city were almost fatal to Xiao Pingtai, who had no armor at all.

But there is no way Xiaoheita dares not to go, those ashigaru also cling to the stone wall and climb up. The means of attacking the city are so inferior.

Although the defender is not very clever, if something happens to Xiao Pingtai, his life will be ruined here.

As a time-traveling protagonist, this is probably the first time that he has been on the verge of death for several days without any control.

On the tenth day of the siege, Xiaopingtai finally came to his senses. If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years. Give it a try, live and be rewarded for meritorious service, and die and be buried in the earth.

As he continued to be carried away towards the city, Koheta sacrificed himself to climb up the three-meter-high stone wall. When he was about to climb up, he used his arm to withstand the blow of the pipe gun. Suddenly there was a heartbreaking pain, as if half of his arm was shattered. Xiaopingta, who was almost in pain, couldn't even hold on to the stone wall and fell straight down.

The fingers of the other hand were picking at a corner of the stone wall. Ignoring the blood that was scratched and spilling out, he let out a cry, used all his strength to loosen the corner of the stone, and endured the severe pain to pull out the two horses on his back. Come out and insert it hard into the stone wall.

Finally, the horse mark representing our side was firmly inserted into the gap in the stone wall. When the opponent saw the two horse marks, he panicked and stabbed him with his gun, hoping to knock him down.

How could Mrs. Xiaoping let him get what he wanted? She endured the severe pain and the blood on her slippery hand and inserted the horse mark tighter.

He let out a loud roar: "Hosokawa Zaimei is the general secretary of Ichibanjo! Hosokawa Zaimei has already climbed to the top of the city!" The soldiers on the left and right roared together when they saw Er Yinliang's flag had been planted on the stone wall. The city was originally tense. The Baichuan Army suddenly felt discouraged.

There were shouts of various Ninomaru being broken, a certain samurai being killed, Otemon being captured, and so on. They swarmed to retreat to the castle tower and Honmaru, and some people opened the city gates and came out to surrender to the Shirakawa army.

As for Hosokawa Zaimei, who had nominally entered the city in a bloody battle, he observed the battle for a long time and found that he finally had a breakthrough, so he jumped out eagerly.

After being freed from the protection of the wooden posts and guards, Hosokawa Saime shouted: "Charge!" and rushed into the city with vitality. The people from the shrine behind also swarmed up.

Xiaopingta touched his left hand and collapsed under the stone wall. It was estimated that there were no fractures. He let out a sigh of relief, then smeared the blood on his hand and pretended to be seriously injured before sitting on the ground safely.

I tried my best, at least I didn't die or get seriously injured, but in this era, serious injury and death are about the same. I guess my arm will be sore in the rainy days from now on.

After thinking wildly for a while, Xiaoping was very happy to see the army swarming into the city.
